Well built, solid 100W panel that actually performs. I have bought many portable panels which claim way higher than they are actually rated, but I am very surprised by the performance of this panel. I have often seen high 80s watts out of this panel.
The two downsides: The MC4 connection seems to be overkill and a bit of a pain to work with. It means you always have to bring the connection cable. Many portable panels do a DC jack or XT60 and USB-C instead of MC4. I would highly suggest including a direct USB-C PD next time. The other downside is it can be hard to set up with the split panels to get maximum power without having something to lean it on.
Overall a solid panel for traveling.

Perhaps my lack of knowledge on the product is partially to blame and therefore would decrease the device from functioning at it’s full optimal potential. In that case, having considered that, I shall do my best to keep my review unbiased under any potential false pretense.
It charges my phone rather quickly actually and continues to charge on lower than peak hours with sun.
It would be so much more efficient and worth the investment if it had stands or something to help prop them up as well as a digital indication of amperage output (how much power your getting.) This would help you know how to optimize it’s performance.
So far it is holding up with being in a outdoor rugged environment which it ought to given what it is and what purpose it serves. Will update in the future for a more long term review as I know many would appreciate that.
UPDATE: only one month after purchasing. Note that I take good care of my things. I really rely on this in ways most don’t understand. I am on the streets and electric outlets are beyond scarce. It’s crucial to have a phone charged if you’re seeking a better quality of life. Well I noticed today that the indicator light is now constantly flashing. To my recollection, it didn’t do that before. This suggests to me that there’s already a short in it and therefore will ultimately trickle charge, rendering it practically useless. I’m not overlooking obvious potential causes I assure you I’m well aware of other factors that might result in this. Also the material on the outside of it is coming off where each panel folds over the next.

I bought this for my Bluetooth generator and don’t regret it at all. I was trying to prepare for possible brown outs in California. Luckily I haven’t had to use the generator for that but when I have, this panel is so convenient to have.
It folds up nicely and goes in the pouch that came with it and the cables have multiple connectors.
My best advice is that if you are done charging, use gloves to move it or wait till it cools off because the panels get very hot.

I bought this to keep my Anker 521 portable battery (256wh) topped off during an upcoming camping trip. It’s built well and folds up small enough to toss in a backpack. The cable it comes with is a little short, but it has the end I needed for my battery and I’m sure I can find a longer cable if I need it.
While it’s rated for 50w, it seems manufacturers all the way from name-brands to ones like these rate them higher than you’ll actually get in the real world. On my roof angled towards the sun on a clear day, I get between 30 and 35 watts into my Anker – perfect for my use case, as I’m only going to be using my battery during the night. If you need more than that, get the 100w version.
Once I see how it performs on my trip I’ll update my review.

The panel is built to last, with a very strong protective coating similar to that of a basketball. It uses the same protection as larger and much more expensive solar panels. If you want a solid 100-watt solar panel, get this 120-watt one. It’s very well-built, and the foldable size is unmatched. It powered my Anker at 102 watts and went as low as 90 watts, which is very good. I was shocked to see it produce 100 watts when my 220-watt panel only produces a maximum of 140 watts. This panel is definitely worth it, and I will be buying more.

Took it on a mission trip to Tanzania. Used to charge CPAP batteries, phones, battery banks, etc. I used it with a Renogy 10 A solar charge controller. It worked beautifully the entire trip. No problems despite frequent dust and relocation daily. Even generated when it was cloudy. Was getting about 90 watts in full sun with sub-optimal angle.

117 watts from my meter and small form factor 5 stars from me about 102 watts on my EcoFlow river 2

It is perfect for me. Perfect price, perfect size, perfect amount of watts, and fits perfectly into the provided travel bag for storage. Thank you. <3
